Review
Love is like milk, with the passage of time,it sours, splits and becomes poison.
Love has one fault, if you let go, it will fall. it will shatter on the ground. you should not let go.
The poison of love is translated from the Malayalam by Ministhy J. published as “Meera Sadhu”. It’s a story of Tulsi and Madhav. It’s their journey from friendship to marriage and their life later. Will they have a successful marriage?
When you pick up the book, calm down and start it with a fresh mind as you’re going to feel various emotions at the same time. Sometimes you’ll feel Love is an illusion, sometimes, you’ll Love, LOVE, sometimes You’ll Hate LOVE.
Be prepared to witness the roller-coaster journey of Love. The plot of the story is interesting with lots of twists and turns. The narration of the story is breathtaking and engaging. One can relate to the story from the very first page.
It’s a page-turner read so Take your own time to read and absorb the story. The backdrop of Vrindavan is described beautifully by the author. The story has themes like Love, lust, relationships, friendship. The story is brutal and thrilling at the same time.
The author described each and every emotion in a wonderful way, making the reader think about Love.
The characters that the author developed are strong and real. Each of them will leave a slight impact on you. Every character, be it Tulsi’s father, or her sister played a vital role in the story. I liked Tulsi’s character, but Vinay’s character stole my heart.
The pace of the story is medium. The flow of the story is smooth. The language used by the author is simple and easy. The writing style of the author is Lucid and gripping.
Try to finish it in a go and it will leave you with a heavy heart, questioning Love. The book has a beautiful cover and title. Overall it’s a book with an interesting plot, crisp narration, simple language and Lots of Love and Lust.
A must-read book!

Summary:
When Tulsi first meets Madhav, she is irrevocably drawn to his chiselled good looks and charm. Although wary of his many dalliances and the string of broken hearts left in his wake, she is surprised by the intense desire that Madhav arouses in her. And before long, she forsakes her family, her prospective career, her fiancé—all for the love of this inscrutable man. But love can be like poison. And nothing can prepare Tulsi for the heartache and betrayal that lie ahead.
Years later, Tulsi escapes to the ancient city of Vrindavan, seeking redemption amidst the cries and prayers of its anguished widows. However, when her past catches up with her, old wounds resurface with dramatic consequences.
By turns savage and tender, The Poison of Love is a spellbinding tale of love and sacrifice, pain and retribution, confirming K.R. Meera as one of our most fearless and accomplished writers.
